Warren Haley reviewed all of the obituaries which appeared in the Jacksonville papers during the 21 year
period of 1 Jan 1976 thru the end of Dec. 1996. His note: "I could have missed some or lost some over the years.... but not many. I
have an alphabetical listing (contained in two 3-inch notebook binders) by year. I made the notebooks up at the end of
each year before I filed the extracted information in my file cabinet." Thanks Warren for all of the work you put into collecting the
information given here and again now for making the extracted information available to MAGA researchers. A big thank you also goes to Dan Tholen who has graciously offered to help Warren get all of the data typed to be put online.If you find errors which need correcting or have information
to be added to one of the extracts, you may forward same to my email address.
